The U.S. government, influenced by racial prejudice and concerns about espionage, deemed it necessary to forcibly relocate and intern around 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. This decision was later recognized as a grave injustice, leading to formal apologies and reparations in the decades that followed.
